Sanam Luang Park (The Royal Field)
Sanam Luang (the Royal Field) has been around since the founding of Bangkok in 1782.
Located on Rattanakosin Island, the area was also known as 'Thung Pra Meru' (Royal Cremation Ground). The park is also surrounded by famous landmarks, including the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the National Museum, National Gallery, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Defense.
Sanam Luang is a gathering ground for various activities throughout the year. Take part in the kite flying festival in March to see a plethora of colours in different shapes and sizes floating in the sky. On most days, you can enjoy a family picnic in the breezy late afternoon while watching an exciting game of sepak takraw (kick volleyball).
